Bay Network routing protocols?

Hi, would anyone know what routing protocols Bay Network routers use? Yes I
know RIP is one of them, OSPF should be another, but what about IGRP and
EIGRP as these are Cisco implementations.

Cheers!

you answered your own question.... they will not run igrp or eigrp (cisco
propietary) and your bay router can also double as a boat anchor if the
need be. but they may run is-is or rip v2 or bgp... depends if bay offers
an image with them on. but not sure the only bay rotuers we have at work
are limited in what they run so your guess is as good as mine

Hmmmm, yes, a boat anchor is the best use for any Bay Networks device.
The same holds true for any netgear or netopia "routers".

With fear of starting a flaming here in a cisco newsgroup could you
please tell me how you come to the conclusion that a Bay/Nortel router
is useful as a boat anchor.

I am just interested, did you have alot of problems with Nortel
equipment and if so, what were there, or are you only saying this to
be cool.

I work with Nortel equipment everyday and I have to admit Nortel
doesn't have the fancy tools for managing and troubleshooting routers
like Cisco have but I find the hardware to be very reliable and the
BCC is almost the same as the Cisco IOS.

To answer the first poster. Nortel supports all "Open Standard"
routing protocols like RIP, RIP V2, OSPF, IS-IS and BGP. IGRP and
EIGRP are propriety routing protocols that only will work between
cisco equipment. There are many other examples of Cisco propriety
protocols that Cisco (of the top of my head CDP, ISL & VTP) use.

Most likely has something to do with the idea of the chauvinism of brand
loyalty. Since this IS a Cisco newsgroup, the reception of questions about
competing brands, no matter how good, is likely to be less than gracious.
However, there IS a Nortel (Bay) newsgroup for those who have the desire to
float questions that way. Similarly, I suspect some folks who like the
competition might suggest that some Cisco equipment would make suitable boat
anchors, too. They might not be too likely to spend much time visiting a
Cisco certification news group, however.

Terry

I totally agree with everything you are saying.

It was a genuine question. I wanted to know how he came to this
conclusion. I'm not trying to defend Nortel or say Cisco is better
than Nortel (I've heard enough shit with the Windows & Unix/Linux
debate).

I work with both Cisco & Nortel equipment and I was just curious to
see what problems he was having with Nortel. I understand fully this
is a cisco newsgroup and a certification one at that but the question
was posted to this newsgroup.
